The town Thiruvalla gets its name from this temple. At a distance of 29 Kms from Kottayam, 35 Kms from Alappuzha & 33 kms from Pathanamthitta, Sri Vallabha Temple is located near Thiruvalla town (4 Kms) in Pathanamthitta district. This ancient temple dedicated to Lord Vishnu is one among the 108 Diva Kshetrams in India. This temple is built in typical Kerala style of temple architecture with fine carvings and murals. The inner sanctum of the temple houses a 6 feet tall idol of Maha Vishnu. The flag staff of the temple is made out of granite and it is about 50 feet tall. A 3 feet idol of Garuda (the eagle vehicle of Lord Vishnu) is installed on top of the flagstaff. This temple is famous for the traditional Kathakali performances almost every night and it is perhaps the only temple in Kerala where Kathakali is regularly performed as a ritual offering to a deity, after the evening Pooja. The temple is believed to be visited by Sage Durvasa and Saptarishi every midnight in order to worship Sree Vallabha

The town of Thiruvalla gets its name from the ancient name " Thiruvallabhapuram", which means the town where Vallabha ( Lord Vishnu) resides. Vallabha is the main deity of this temple. The temple has high boundary walls & is very well spaced out. The ambience inside the temple is very soothing & relaxing. Adequate parking space & shops are available near to the temple. Another peculiar thing about this temple is that " Kathakali" dance is performed every night at this temple. Great ambience ..
